Hi, I like listening to really fast violin music when I`m studying. Could you recommend some composers/songs for me? something like Antonio Bazzini`s "The dance of the Goblins" etc type of music would be perfect. I need songs that are frenetic and super fast.

Thanks a lot!

Some of the fastest, wildest, most frentic violin music I`ve ever heard are as such... These are the pcs I`ll strongly recommend :
Novacek- Perpetuum Mobile,
Bazzini- La Ronde des Lutins/Dance of the Goblins , Monti- Csardas ( this isn`t really fast, but it`s one of my fav. ),
Prokofiev-Violin Concerto No. 1 In D Major, Op. 19: Scherzo: Vivacissimo ,
Shostakovich -Violin Concerto in A minor: Scherzo: Allegro( these 2 aren`t really that craxy fast, but I simply luv the colour ) ,
Henry Vieuxtemps-Vn Con No.4 in D, Op.31: Scherzo: Trio, Henryk Wieniawski -Etude,Caprice in a, Op.18 No.4, Josef Suk-Burleska, Op.17 No.4 ....
And Maybe u should listen to all Paganini`s Caprices, etudes etc.

Sorry, forgot to recommend 1 of my fav...Schubert`s Death and the Maiden. The quartet music is really passionate and wild. My fav so far.

You should listen to the 3rd movement of Tchaikovsky`s violin concerto in D major. It is fast and very inspiring. I feel like i`ve taken amphetamines every time i listen to it.

I don`t know whether this song is faster than any of the others suggested, but there is a song by Bond called "Korobushko," where it starts off quite slow and gets faster and faster until it looks like the lead violinist is about to break all off her strings due to friction

I`ve also heard the 3rd Movement of Summer played extremely fast by people like Nigel Kennedy.

Hope this helps
